Practice matches?! Self-entered scores?! No one here is advocating this. I find it hard to believe that NorCal would introduce such system... it's just nuts. Are you sure this was an official NorCal thing, and not someone's "simulation" website? Kind of like simulation stock trading, to explore "what if" scenarios?

I believe it was called TPI, and you were required to use it if you wanted to play combo league that year.

NorCal tends to like to think of itself on the bleeding edge. Our front end to tennislink is pretty awesome. But sometimes the powers that be go a little wild.

As it works out (and it makes sense when you think about it), ratings are released about a week after the last national tournament. That just happens to be right around the Monday after Thanksgiving each year.

Does this apply for 2012 ratings? Anyone know if this is another bump up year? So many people I know got bumped up ly.

As far as I know that bump up was a one time thing. The USTA didn't announce they were going to do it a regular deal although I wouldn't mind if they did it every 2 years just because things are pretty much back to the way they were before.

all matches should count period.. ratings should be ran every 6 months

Come on people, don't you know how much computing power costs these days? USTA could never afford that. Think about those poor cute hamsters running around frantically inside their little wheels in order to power everything.

I think it depends on the what leagues the player played in. If the player played in Mixed Only and played at the national championships during November, I would think that the mixed matches during the month of November count for that player's ratings.
